Story Behind The Book
I wrote this book based on my own struggle to understand why God sometimes directs our paths in ways we can't comprehend. If we seek to follow Him, trusting His love and goodness, He will direct our paths.
Reviews
"This book was totally and completely enjoyable to read. I received the
book on Friday and finished reading it on Sunday. I could hardly put it
down. The storyline is very well written and grabbed my attention in the
first chapter and never let me go. I wish it could go on and on. The
two main characters have both been hurt in life and are kind of afraid
to trust someone again. Trish has a son called Little Bo and I just
wanted to grab him up and give him a great big hug. He was totally
adorable.
<br /><br /><br />One of my favorite lines in the book is this: "God doesn't waste any
hurt you endure, Trish. What he allows into your life--even something
as painful as Doc's death--He'll use for the days ahead..." I believe
this is so true and have seen it played out in my life. I love it when I
can read a really good fiction book and learn more about my
relationship with Christ. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a
good story to read. I can't wait until Book 3 in the series comes out
next year." ~Amazon Review
